The Lord Has Prepared His Children

This past week Elder Zamora and I found a lady by the name of Angelica. She is about 75 years old and has a heart condition that doesn’t allow her to walk very well. She is always in her house and we met her when we knocked on her door. She invited us in without hesitation (which is very rare here in Lima) and was willing to listen to the message. We taught about the Book of Mormon and together we read 3 Nefi 11. When we taught about how Christ gave the Priesthood to the people here in the Americas so that they could be baptized correctly I felt as though she needed to be challenged to be baptized. After I read verse which tells that those who are baptized will receive eternal life, I looked at her and she had tears running down her face. I challenged her to be baptized the 27 of December and she accepted. She told us that for the longest time she has been looking for the peace and comfort that she just felt from our message. Angelica reminds me alot of Grandma with her smile and her attitude to do the things that need to get done. Every day my testimony grows by seeing the way the Gospel changes and blesses lives. It hurts when people don’t want to accept or listen to the only thing that bring the happiness and peace that will last forever, but the Lord has prepared his children and he shows them to us.
